Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 4984237, member: 837"] Bell's not the most instinctive player. It may be his biggest weakness -- and he has a few. That's a spot where he's late getting back and Cuffe is basically taking his spot in the zone to cover the guy in the corner. Then Bell wants to switch back when there's an opportunity, so maybe that's on cuffe for not doing it sooner, but I would think he was thinking let's just stay in position until a dead ball so no one goes left uncovered. Not sure exactly who's right and who's wrong on the assignment, but Bell reacts by basically not playing defense and arguing AND Bell watches his shot and doesn't move until Ga Tech clears the rebound (you missed, you're not getting the rebound, start getting back). So those lack of instincts hurt, even if it's cuffe that screwed up the actual assignment. I'd also say our communication on defense has been an issue all season. Definitely something for Red to work on. [/QUOTE]
